One of Us?
Prior generations of immigrants felt the need to conform to American culture, but many of today’s immigrants wish to express the culture of their homeland. How do current views of assimilation compare to the attitudes of yesterday’s immigrants? Plus: The impact of the government shutdown in New Jersey, and the uncertainty clouding Mexico’s presidential election.
